The infrequent occurrence of breast cancer in males may reflect different etiologic factors and decreased hormonal dependence in comparison with the disease in females. We have attempted to define genetic differences in tumors of males that might reflect alterations in pathogenesis, by examining 22

By two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), der(16)t(1;16) or der(1;16) was frequently detected in low-grade papillary carcinoma but not in benign intraductal papilloma of the breast. In order to clarify the incidence and clinicopathological significance of der(16)t(1;16)/der(1;16) in

Retinoids and their receptors [retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors] play an important role in maintaining the balance between proliferation and apoptosis. Recently, Deng et al. [Science (Washington DC), 274: 2057-2059, 1996] reported a loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 3p24 in

OBJECTIVE To develop a highly sensitive quantitative RT-PCR hybridization assay for the determination of CK-19 mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer. METHODS Quantification of CK-19 mRNA was based on the coamplification of CK-19 mRNA with a recombinant CK-19 RNA internal standard

Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), which uses an enzymatic reaction to detect the hybridized DNA probe, is a new alternative to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the assessment of HER-2 oncogene amplification status in breast cancer. The main advantage of CISH over FISH is the use

The aims of this investigation were to compare quantitative with qualitative analysis of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) centromere signals in interphase breast cancer cell nuclei and to evaluate the possible clinical utility of detecting numerical abnormalities of chromosomes 11 and 17 by

OBJECTIVE Estrogen-dependent growth of breast cancer can be blocked by anti-estrogens. Estrogen receptor (ER) presence in breast cancer implies responsiveness to endocrine therapy. However, for those patients who ultimately develop resistance to endocrine therapy, the mechanisms remain unclear. The

Tumor heterogeneity may adversely affect the flow cytometric measurement of S-phase fraction (SPF) in breast cancer specimens, and 10-20% of breast cancer specimens are not evaluable by flow cytometry due to technical factors such as debris, high coefficients of variation, poor specimen quality, or

We describe a new method to determine simultaneously both proliferative status and chromosome copy number within individual interphase cells. The MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line was used as a model system to characterize proliferative activity in karyotypically defined cell subpopulations. Cells

OBJECTIVE To develop a method for the detection of amplification of the erbB2 oncogene in breast cancer fine needle aspirates using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and to compare amplification with immunohistochemical detection of the erbB2 protein. METHODS A digoxigenin labelled probe to

We describe a sensitive and practical in situ hybridization method, using a digoxigenin-labeled probe, for the detection of c-erbB-2 amplification in breast cancer in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Forty-six primary breast carcinomas were studied. Nuclear hybridization signal was

A method for reflectance in situ hybridization (RISH) is presented. The importance of the method is demonstrated by results obtained on cytological and histological breast cancer specimens. Scattering reflectance signals from 1-nm colloidal-gold particles after RNA/RNA in situ hybridization, using

It is known that the interruption of normal iron metabolism with chelators of iron, toxic metals, toxic metals bound to transferrin, or anti-transferrin receptor antibodies leads to significant inhibition of tumor cell growth in cell culture systems and animal models. In the present study, we found

In this article, we describe a detailed protocol for miRNA detection in breast cancer tissue using in situ hybridization with a digoxigenin-labelled LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid) probe. The probe was recognized by anti-DIG alkaline phosphatase antibodies and later developed using alkaline phosphatase

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine that acts as an important mediator of the apoptotic process that also demonstrates selective citotoxicity against malignant breast tumor cells. In the present study, the presence of apoptotic tumor cells and the synthesis of TNF-alpha by
